Convert text to object

[Christycowart61]

New user and I just need to know 2 things please.

 

1.  Is it possible to convert text to object for t shirt printing?  If so, HOW?

 

2.  What is the easiest way to remove the background?  Like is there a one click solution?

 

Thank you for HELP!

Question 1: select the text, right-click then convert in curve.

Question 2: No, I think you will not be in any  graphics program a one clic solution find.

Hi Christycowart61,

Welcome to Affinity Forums

2- What application are you using - Designer or Photo? What type of image are you working with - is the background an image, a solid colour what?

Thank you both!

 

MEB I think I am using Photo.....it is a trial version.  The image is a template with a logo and writing on it.  On photoshop there is an eye to click that removes it.  Trying not to get involved with photoshop.

 

The reason I am using the template is because it is preset to all specs the manufacturer needs.  I don't know enough to set it all manually.

Thank you so much for your help.  

Happy face!

Hi, Christycowart61

The image you posted makes me believe that the template you have is a PSD document (one created in Photoshop) with multiple layers. The eye icon is the way Photoshop indicates whether or not a layer is visible. So, your template must contain multiple layers with instructions and such on it, and you can hide (not remove) those layers by clicking the eye.

In Affinity Photo, layers have a check mark next to them, and the check serves the same purpose as the eye in Photoshop. If you un-check a layer, it becomes hidden. It is still there, but will not show up when you look at the image, when you export it, and so forth.

Affinity Photo will open PSD documents. So, my suggestion is to open Affinity Photo, choose Open... from the File menu, and then open the template. You will probably be able to un-check all the relevant layers to effectively leave you with a "clean slate" on which to add your own artwork. Once you're done, you can also choose Export... from the File menu, choose PSD from the tabs at the top of the dialog box, and export your edited template as a new file with a .psd extension.
